    "content": " I agree. Hon. Speaker, this Constitution was heavily borrowed from the United States of America. The 25th Amendment of the USA Constitution, which was passed in 1967, has a similar provision that a vice-president shall be nominated by the president and approved by a vote by the House. It uses the word ‘confirmation’. Previously in the United States, before the 25th Amendment, there was no similar provision. In fact, before 1967, there was a cumulative of 37 years when there was no vice-president when one either passed away or became the president. So, we would like you to express yourself with regard to this issue. The threshold for the removal of the deputy president is two-thirds. Does the approval, by a vote, of the deputy president require the two-thirds majority? It is not provided in the Constitution."
